Property Management

Dockside Realty was one of the first Real Estate offices to open on the shores of Lake Anna in 1994.  Our rental program started just a few years later so we know what it takes to operate a full service Property Management company.  We now have three offices here at the lake, our main sales office at High Point Marina, the sales/rental office in the New Bridge Landing Shopping Center and another sales office in The Boardwalk building, below Tim’s Restaurant.

Our Property Management Team is our most valuable asset.  Our Team is highly trained and ready to provide professional and friendly service to you and our guests.  We become personally familiar with your property in order to provide feedback to you and to assist guests in choosing a rental home that best suits their needs.  We all live nearby and know the area.

  • Dockside Rentals is staffed by a group of hard-working, long-term local residents. Want to know where to go to dinner? Ask us. Want to know the best place to rent a boat or jet ski? Just ask us.
  • Our staff is made of people with many years of local experience in the Lake Anna vacation rental business not only as managers and property owners but also as guests. We’ve seen all 3 sides and have learned what works for you, the property owner, and the guest. What works for you will most likely work for us.
  • Owner portal to book your owner stays and see activity on your home.
